Anyone know why we didn’t just put up a maroon colored bubble?

Are we going to have a new “needs more windows” catchphrase? Belligerent may be off the hook now.allcat wrote: ↑Wed Apr 16, 2025 6:23 pmNot enough windows in a bubble.CodyCat wrote: ↑Wed Apr 16, 2025 6:15 pmAnyone know why we didn’t just put up a maroon colored bubble?

We need to get Leon a golf cart so he can drive around the athletic facilities and take photos.

Re: Indoor facility
You’re probably right. Must be a design choice based on a certain factor.

Re: Indoor facility
I mean if we have indoor track meets you can charge people for inside seats and then outside windows seats. It's the T&F version of standing room only.

Think about the important things, Do they have windows in the bubble? Uh oh I might have just prompted a donation for the Washington group.catsrback76 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 12:15 amAnyone know why anyone cares if there are any windows?

Re: Indoor facility
Since nobody has actually answered the question yet, I'd guess it's largely to keep costs down. More windows means more heat loss in cold weather and higher utility bills to heat that large of a space.tetoncat wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 8:08 amSeemed more of a question on why and not a comment there were not enough.mslacatfan wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 8:06 amGotta love it…

Re: Indoor facility
This is my thought. Keeping that huge airspace in there cool would be difficult with a lot of windows I would think.MSU01 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 8:11 amSince nobody has actually answered the question yet, I'd guess it's largely to keep costs down.

Re: Indoor facility
What about if they had fpv drone races in there? Windows might cause thermal updrafts and just send the drones crashing everywhere.AFCAT wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 9:25 am...and the cost of the windows themselves.MSU01 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 8:11 amSince nobody has actually answered the question yet, I'd guess it's largely to keep costs down.
